A sturdy slab serif with heavy, squared-off serifs and pronounced thick–thin contrast. The letterforms are upright with broad proportions and a solid, poster-like weight, while the serifs read as slightly bracketed rather than purely rectangular. Curves are full and rounded (notably in C, G, O, and S), with tight internal counters that boost density and impact. Strokes terminate decisively, giving the design a crisp, punchy rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase, and the numerals share the same sturdy, compact construction.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where strong structure and a confident voice are desired. It also fits packaging and brand marks that need a classic slab-serif impression with high impact in short lines of text.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, with a newspaper/print sensibility that feels dependable and emphatic. Its strong serifs and dense color convey seriousness and authority, while the rounded curves keep it from feeling overly mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional slab-serif voice with maximum presence: dense, high-contrast forms and prominent serifs that stay readable and authoritative in display settings. The wide stance and compact counters suggest a focus on punchy, attention-holding typography rather than delicate text rendering.
In text, the font produces a dark, even typographic color with clear word shapes, especially from the prominent serifs and sturdy verticals. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, helping legibility at display-to-subhead sizes while maintaining a bold, editorial presence.
